Henri Jokiharju still has a bad taste from Finland’s elimination loss in the World Junior Championship last season.

Jokiharju and his Finnish teammates were optimistic about their chances in the playoff round. They had played well in the group stage and hung with Canada and the United States. But in the quarterfinals, Finland had its tournament ended when it was upset by the Czech Republic in a shootout.

“Tough ending in the quarterfinals,” Jokiharju recalled after Blackhawks practice on Monday. “We felt like we should have won.”

There’s a chance Jokiharju might get a shot at redemption. Jokiharju, 19, is still eligible to play in the World Junior Championship, and, according to multiple sources, the Blackhawks are still considering whether or not to permit Jokiharju to play in the tournament, which will take place Dec. 26–Jan. 5 in Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia.
